Chapter 407: The Great Fire of the Eighteen Kingdoms

If you read the beginning of a work, you can think of the end, even if the work is great, there will be something missing, just like a suspense novel, you know everything, what else is the meaning?

The excitement of the TV series "Thewalkingdead" is because of the unknown future! In addition to knowing that the first male protagonist police officer Rick will not die, everyone else may die, of course, maybe one day Chu Shi is interested, and the male protagonist police officer Rick will be written directly to death, who knows what will happen in the future? Isn't the future wonderful because of this unknown?

It can be said that the TV series "Thewalkingdead" contains a qiē in the post-apocalyptic works!

Of course, most of the things are told later, and the most important and exciting episode at the beginning is the police officer Rick, who woke up after sleeping in the hospital for several years, with the thinking of a peaceful era, entering an era of 'global zombies', and the conflict between the ideological thinking and the world structure is completely opposite, which shocks the audience.

Under Chu Shi's well-written script, Old Fran's excellent directing ability, and Rick's superb performance, it not only gave the audience an unparalleled sense of substitution, but also gave the audience a shocking impact, which is also the reason why the TV series "Thewalkingdead" achieved unimaginable success at the beginning of its premiere!

China, Japan, South Korea, United States, Eagle Country, France, Germany, Italy......

Simultaneous premieres in 18 countries, without exception, all of them have achieved extremely dazzling results!

It has to be said here too. The United States is indeed terrifying in terms of cultural export, and Hollywood is no joke in the world. At least the years that Hollywood blockbusters have swept the world have also made the world accustomed to American film and television works. Now the reason why the TV series "Thewalkingdead" has been able to achieve excellent results in eighteen countries is inseparable from it, and this gap is something that Chu Shi cannot reverse for a while.

Since it can't be reversed, let's take advantage of this shareholder wind and let yourself benefit first!

First and foremost, the U.S. market!

Normally, the top 10 works of the year in the United States basically exceed the tens of millions of views of a single episode. Even when the year is good, even the number of viewers of the eleventh and twelfth works will reach more than 10 million.

For example, a TV series that has just been broadcast for a short time can get three or four million viewers at the beginning, which is already quite a difficult thing.

But the TV series "Thewalkingdead" broke this conventional concept, and it was also because of the promotion of "premiere in 18 countries" and "240 million US dollars of high investment", as well as the extremely high quality of the TV series itself, in the end, only eight episodes were broadcast. At the rate of two episodes per week, it has only been a month, and the single episode of the TV series "Thewalkingdead" has reached 6 million viewers!

The annual leaderboard will not be mentioned for the time being. Just talking about the list of American dramas that are now on the air, the TV series "Thewalkingdead" has already squeezed into the top three ranks when the eighth episode was broadcast. And there is not much difference between the first and second. According to the estimation of SCL and AMC, I am afraid it will not take more than a month. The TV series "Thewalkingdead" can stand at the top of the list and laugh at the situation.

And you must know that the TV series "Thewalkingdead" has one hundred and eight episodes, and now it has only aired eight episodes, even less than 10% of the whole show, and it has already received 6 million viewers.

It's just that 20% to 30% of the broadcast has been squeezed into the top ten of the 2010 American drama ratings list, so the TV series "Thewalkingdead" will definitely become the most dazzling store of this year!

And the final ratings, after the joint evaluation of SCL and AMC, the TV series "Thewalkingdead" can squeeze into the top three of the 2010 annual ratings list, with a probability of more than eighty percent, and the probability of occupying the second place is also very high, with a full sixty percent, but it is still a little difficult to occupy the top position.

Although so far, there has not been any demon-level TV series, according to SCL and AMC, in the middle and late of this year, there will be a demon-level TV series that has been filmed for several seasons and has countless fans, and almost every time a sequel is released, it will firmly occupy the position of the annual ratings champion will be officially broadcast!

If the quality can be maintained without deterioration, after filming for three or four seasons and accumulating countless loyal fans, it also has the power to fight, and if it is filmed more and longer, it can also reach the level of 'as long as you shoot a sequel, you can occupy the ratings champion'.

But now, the accumulation is still a little worse, if it collides head-on, at most, it has a three-percent win rate, which is too low.

So in the end, SCL Company, AMC Company and Chu Shi himself set the goal of 'protecting three and fighting for two', and judging from the results of the current TV series "Thewalkingdead", this possibility is still very huge!

In addition to the United States, in the other seventeen countries, the TV series "Thewalkingdead" also achieved quite good results, and what Chu Shi cared about the most was undoubtedly the situation in the three countries of China, Japan, and South Korea.

The ratings of these three countries were all counted by Nami Miyazaki, and then sent to Chu Shi, and finally transferred to SCL and AMC companies, and finally made public to the world, and according to Chu Shi's understanding. The TV series "Thewalkingdead" achieved similar results in South Korea and Japan.

Today's Japanese TV drama industry is not well developed, and there are indeed excellent works every year. But the problem is that their local TV drama industry has been hit very hard by foreign TV drama works. To put it mildly, the share of Korean dramas and American dramas in Japan is not as good as that of Japanese dramas themselves, but there is not much gap, and all along, as long as they give their local forces enough benefits, they will not have the slightest boycott of foreign film and television works, and the people have long been adapted, accustomed to, and even liked American dramas with grand scenes. In addition, there is also a lack of competition, and the TV series "Thewalkingdead" has been released in Japan, and in just one month, it has already occupied the second place in the ratings list!

This means that the ratings list in Japan does not include foreign TV dramas, otherwise the 2010 ratings champion will definitely belong to the TV series "Thewalkingdead".

And the TV series "Thewalkingdead" in South Korea, although it is also dazzling, is still inferior to Japan, although the TV series "Thewalkingdead" is really very good. But the development of South Korea's local TV drama industry is also quite good, otherwise they would not export their local TV drama works in the whole of Asia every year.

It is precisely for this reason that the current ranking of the TV series "Thewalkingdead" in South Korea is only worthy of ranking fourth in the ratings list. Whether he can win the top position in the end, Chu Shi does not dare to pack a ticket, if it is calculated according to the results. I'm afraid that it can squeeze into the top 10 of South Korea's annual ratings list, but usually this list does not include foreign works. I can only entertain myself for a while.

After the ratings of these two countries fell into the hands of Chu Shi, Chu Shi compared the ratings in other countries. I probably know how much money I can make.

South Korea does not make much money, although this result is good, but it is not unexpected by SCL and AMC companies, even if Miyazaki Nami is busy, Chu Shi has also thought a lot, and the final income is about fifty percent at best.

But the Japanese side really surprised Chu Shi, and maintained this momentum, and in the end Chu Shi was able to earn at least three times the profit, if he was lucky, this alone would be able to recover more than 30% and less than 40% of the cost for Chu Shi, plus the South Korean side could recover 10% of the cost, these two aspects together would be able to earn back 40% of the cost for Chu Shi!

You must know that the cost of Chu Shi's original investment in the TV series "Thewalkingdead", if you count the script, has reached the level of six or seven billion Huaxia coins, and only the rights and interests of Japan and South Korea account for about a quarter of Chu Shi's investment this time, and it looks like a little more than two percent.

And this has not yet calculated the income of Huaxia, in fact, what Chu Shi cares about the most is the income of Huaxia.

It's a pity that so far, the results of the TV series "Thewalkingdead" in China are not particularly ferocious!

So far, it has only ranked fifth in the ratings list!

Nowadays, the TV series work that ranks first in the ratings list in China is undoubtedly "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", even if because of Chu Shi, the results of "The Inheritors" have risen by leaps and bounds, and it is getting closer and closer to the first place, but it is still a little bit worse and cannot be pulled down.

At the same time, I also know that the two works of the TV series "The Inheritors" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" will officially end in a short time, and the major entertainment companies have also withdrawn from their ambitions this year.

There are four excellent works released recently, and the best of them are only two works that have been recognized by countless audiences, and obviously, they are the third and fourth works in the ratings list.

Although it is much worse than the two works "The Inheritors" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", it is still much stronger than other film and television works, and it firmly stands on the throne of three or four.

Originally, the fifth and sixth places were contracted, and ten times the other two excellent TV series works that were slightly inferior. It's just that the TV series "Thewalkingdead" has been released, and it relies on exquisite production and novel themes. Quickly rushed up, and finally when the fourth episode aired. After nearly half a month, he rushed to the fifth place.

At that time, it really scared the third and fourth two works, thinking that "The Inheritors" had just ended, and Chu Shi's new drama "Thewalkingdead" would reach the peak again.

Fortunately, after consolidating the fifth place, the TV series "Thewalkingdead" seems to lack momentum and cannot move forward even one more.

After all, the first few episodes of the TV series "Thewalkingdead" only have one main character, Police Officer Rick, and it is a little monotonous in terms of roles. The lack of results is actually expected by Chu Shi.

Chu Shi also instructed Nami Miyazaki, who was a little impatient, to calm down and wait until this TV series slowly rose again.

Of course, Chu Shi didn't do nothing in this process, and took the time to think of a new set of promotional words, and officially renamed the Chinese version of "Thewalkingdead", which was originally named "The Walking Dead", with the new promotional words, and carried out a second round of publicity activities.

The effect is actually good at the beginning!

A new name, a new slogan, and the same crazy propaganda campaign. In addition, the TV series "The Walking Dead" itself has also reached a small climax, and the second protagonist Chu Shi and the first protagonist Rick officially met, which really made all audiences at home and abroad excited.

I have to say, in the TV series "The Walking Dead". Chu Shi's image is really very good!

Usually, there is a feeling of being cute, which can be said to be immature. But more often than not, there is still a feeling of 'selling cuteness and begging for **', a clear feeling. But all those who are kind-hearted are absolutely unwilling to deceive Chu Shi.

Such a role. It's definitely a store that can attract fans like crazy!

Of course, if he is cute at the same time, he is still a cowardly man who needs the protection of others, then the speed of losing fans will be comparable to the speed of attracting fans, after all, in the last days, in such a dangerous world, a cowardly man...... It's really annoying, and the team is cumbersome!

But Chu Shi is different! Chu Shi in life is a little cute, but when he encounters a battle, Chu Shi's originally somewhat cute and clear eyes instantly become fierce and fierce, and in the face of a block, dozens or even hundreds of zombies, there will be no fear!

With just a long stick behind him that has been stained black and red by blood, wandering in the zombie group, the long stick can stab the zombie's head with a light, and the long stick can sweep, you can instantly tear the neck of a zombie, and easily kill more than a dozen zombies, but you will not stain your clothes with a little blood, an absolute demon-level character!

Of course, the script sets Chu Shi as a martial arts master, and it is not to disrupt the balance, in fact, Chu Shi's advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are equally obvious!

Although Chu Shi is skilled, enough to be ten with one, but if he is deeply encircled, it is impossible to go against the sky with the long stick in his hand alone, but his combat power is stronger than that of ordinary people, which is equivalent to a world-famous kung fu master, and he does not have too much ability to defy the sky, at the same time, Chu Shi is only good at using long sticks, and is not good at fist and foot kung fu, if he loses his weapon, at best, he can fight with two or three ordinary people, and he is not too demonic.

The most important thing is that Chu Shi's childlike mind in the play is Chu Shi's biggest 'fatal point', and his strong strength makes him not easily killed by zombies, but he is easy to be deceived! Comrades-in-arms who share life and death can completely trust Chu Shi and hand over the back to Chu Shi, but if it is handed over to Chu Shi's more complicated work, it is obviously impossible to do it.

If it is a head-on battle with the enemy, Chu Shi is naturally not false at all, but if he is playing a spy, then Chu Shi is definitely the level of the best sixth person, and he is the strong and powerful of his teammates.

There may be some flaws, but this is enough to balance, and the cute appearance, strong skills, cold eyes when fighting, and sincerity, although it is easy to deceive, but it is easier to get the love of women, such a role, a proper fan attraction artifact!

Lao Fran and Lao Geer, the two top directors and screenwriters in the American drama industry, also knew that Chu Shi was paving the way for his personal entertainment career, but they also planned to befriend Chu Shi, so they naturally didn't say anything, and filmed the TV series "The Walking Dead" according to Chu Shi's script.

This also leads to zhì, when Chu Shi appeared in front of people, and fully displayed the complete Chu Shi, the vast majority of the audience couldn't help but like it, or even fell in love with Chu Shi!

Even with it, the ratings of the TV series "The Walking Dead" are also rising.

In the eighth or ninth episode, although Chu Shi had already appeared in the TV series, he did not show his complete self, but he showed his tough, decisive killing, and ruthless side during the battle, which had already made the audience unable to fall in love with Chu Shi.

South Korea, which successfully squeezed into the top three in the ratings, gradually became the third position, which is a good progress.

In Japan, it directly rushed to the first place in the ratings rankings, although the gap with the second place is not large, but after all, the TV series "The Walking Dead" has not been broadcast for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it sits on the first throne in the future.

The United States has also taken a step forward from the previous third place to reach the second place.

What makes Chu Shi happiest is the excellent results of the TV series "The Walking Dead" in China!

In terms of Huaxia, the TV series "The Walking Dead" went two steps further, from the fifth place in the original ratings list, directly squeezed into the top three ranks, although the gap with the fourth place is not very large, it may be surpassed at any time, and even often will be surpassed once, and then compete for the third throne back, but it is also a real top three position! And in the first two positions, there is also a work of Dimensional Entertainment.

It can be said that Dimension Entertainment Company has completely made a name for itself in the Chinese TV drama industry, while the other companies, led by the entertainment company that is currently broadcasting large-scale Zuò TV drama works, have a secret hatred for Chu Shi in their hearts, but they are helpless, they can only watch Chu Shi monopolize the top three two, and shout 'The wolf is coming'!

As everyone knows, compared with Huaxia, the turmoil stirred by Chu Shi in Japan can be called the three words 'wolf is coming'!

A hungry wolf is frantically biting the tender and juicy fat meat of the entertainment industry in various countries around the world! (To be continued......)
